Sharleen Shows Off Her Bump At Madonna Lunch
by John Dingwall - The Daily Record - 17 April 2002

TEXAS star Sharleen Spiteri flashed her expanding tummy as she dashed for a spot of lunch at Madonna and Guy Ritchie's new London pad.

The singer, who is four months pregnant, and Madge have become close pals and often meet up.

And for this latest rendezvous, they were joined by Claudia Schiffer and her producer fiance Matthew Vaughn.

Last night, an insider told The Record: "Sharleen and Madonna seem to be very close. Madonna likes the fact that Sharleen is just an ordinary girl and has no airs and graces."

A friend of Madonna said: "Madonna decided to have a few friends, including Sharleen, round to chat and enjoy a spot of lunch.

"She has been pals with Sharleen for years and even asked her to perform at one of her concerts in London a while back.

"The two get on famously and Madonna was able to give Sharleen some tips on what to expect when the baby is born.

"But she knows Sharleen will make a great mum because she gets on famously with Lourdes and Rocco."

Meanwhile, Sharleen has pulled out of a lead role in the Hollywood thriller 3 Blind Mice to concentrate on the birth.

A spokesman said: "The pregnancy is all Sharleen can think about at the moment and she did not want the film schedule to have any possible impact on the health of the child."
